Comprehensive Characterization of Graphene-zinc Oxide-silica Nanocomposites for Enhanced Conductive Applications

Background: The applications of nanocomposite materials require stable and high electrical performance for the potential conductive applications. Objectives: This study aimed to present the effect of introducing different compositions of nano-materials and to obtain the highly conductive composite composition and its relative analysis. Methods: The XRD, SEM, and TEM tests were conducted to study different characteristics related to the characterization and composition of the nanomaterials. Results: The laboratory results show that the conductivity test revealed that Sample-6 (Rk-6) exhibited the lowest impedance value of 15.26 Ω, indicating its superior conductivity among the samples tested. These findings significantly contribute to the field of graphene research, provid-ing valuable insights into the potential of GZS nanocomposites for applications that require enhanced conductivity. Conclusion: With the proposed composition of the synthesis of GZS nanocomposites using graphene, zinc oxide, and silica, the study successfully demonstrated improved storage capabili-ties and can be well suited for low-power applications in the fabrication of nanorods, polymers, and polyester resin.
